  • Regulars will know my penchant for food writing, recipe books and essentially anyone nattering about what they're having for dinner: I can think of no cosier evening setup than a digital book launch event for a book I've looked forward to more than most all year: @nigellalawson 's Cook, Eat, Repeat, which, very best of all, also comes in audiobook edition. . During hard times, I often turn to the audiobook of How to Eat to soothe and engage a tired or whirring mind, and Christmas isn't on the cards until we've sat down with our beloved Nigella's Christmas DVD (it's the year she was very into pomegranate, and this is related to how I bought three boxes of pomegranates when trying to work out what good lockdown vitamins would be). I love the way Nigella writes so personally, so extensively, and with such a love and knowledge of food and the cooking of it; I can disappear into a discussion of the perfect Saturday lunch, and never tire of knowing people's best comfort foods. . So it is that we have our best toast dinner (Marmite for me, peanut butter for Crow) beautiful cocktails (by post! Do check out @manhattansproject - I've never had a good Laphroaig cocktail before and this is phenomenal) and Nigella being excellent company. Most of all though, I just can't wait to read this tome in front of me, to feel inspired to potter in the kitchen (much as I love a recipe, I rarely cook from them - that's Crow's skill), to enjoy great writing about great cooking. Cheers, all - I hope you have something cosy and something great to anticipate! ~P . #nigellalawson #cocktailsofinstagram #manhattansproject #marmite #toastfordinner #booklaunch #cookeatrepeat #newbook #bookoftheday #bookstagram #booksandblankets #bookish

  • The Prudence and the Crow shop has fully re-opened! Back in early July we removed almost everything from our online shop in preparation for our relocation. Today we are finally back up and running so now is your chance to grab those books that you had your eye on before we closed that you didn't quite get around to buying! We have first editions, unusual hardbacks, paperback rarities and some lovely box sets alongside our literary badges, prints and things. We have plenty of new stock to add to these in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

  • An excellent anthology of speculative fiction by authors of colour if you're looking for something to throw open doors to a huge variety of worlds, stories and characters all in one book, extremely welcome in this darkening days at home - and/or if you enjoy solid speculative fiction and haven't embraced the latest in the genre for a while: there's just, so much great writing to be had. Still working my way through this proper sit-down meal of a collection; thoroughly recommended thus far, although, as with any good anthology, you may well find your #tbrpile rapidly growing as you search out more works by any authors you'd yet to get to. . A grey day at #patchq - honestly, what a day to read. We've chores to do, books to organise, and we're still working towards the grand re-opening of the shop, as we finish up unpacking and organising (our entire lives!) after our move! Hoping those of you also working today have good stories in your ears or your bag or your phone, and a little time to engage with them; hoping those of you doing all the other life things today have time for them too! Here's to Saturday 💞📚☕~P . #newsuns #speculativefiction #anthology #shortstories #bookish #bookcover #bibliophile #bookstagram #readwidely #amreading #bookoftheday #bookcover
